Developments: The Mystery Of The Missing Cleat Continues

Question: Could you please explain why Mesut Ozil wore the Adidas Predator during yesterday's test match?
I thought he had a lengthy contract with Nike?
Answer: Good Question Christopher ;) Currenly, Ozil is under contract with Nike.

In that case, what is he doing??

Maybe it's because I'm not much of a brand hog (Nike? Addidas? Puma? I don't give a toss. If I need new shoes I just get whichever one is available and the cheapest. In my entire life I think I've only ever own one pair of Puma, and those I got as birthday presents. Never been one to understand how people can fanboy over SHOES) but I didn't notice he'd changed footwear, nor do I think it has any lasting significance. Isn't Addidas officially Madrid's kit supplier? Maybe, since these are exhibition matches in the US, American promoters simply asked that the boys all wear the same brand. He still wears Nike during training, so it sounds like he's simply asked to wear the Addidas in front of the camera (makes for a more collective team image) for the few matches they have over there.

I'm with you - I couldn't give a toss either!

And if Lira was with Adidas I'd be thrilled! There'd be more commercials to ogle at (because I do adore looking at commercials. I grew up without tv and find them fascinating - and they have our Mesut in them, of course!)

It's only important in that we get good gifs and interesting adverts to look at :)

LOL So true. Am not complaining about shirtless Bambi adverts in the least. Hell, if that's what it takes, get that boy more sponsors! I wouldn't say no to some David Beckham-esque underwear campaigns XD

Boy was born to be a model!

Just look at that melancholy androgyny <3

We don't care, and I doubt he really does either, but for $6mil I bet Nike does. :P
